How do you release a parking brake with a broken release handle on a 1993 Chevrolet truck?

Best ways are if you can see exposed cable underneath the truck, go underneath and yank down on the cable as hard as you can. If the parking brake isn't needed or you just need to free the brake to move the truck and can go get it repaired if necessary, cut the cable back by the brake and the brake will release. Shouldnt cost more that 150 bucks to get a new e-brake installed.

Why does my 1995 4Runner emergency parking brake light stay on even though emergency brake is pushed all the way in?
There is a switch under the dash at the base of the shaft that the e-brake handle slides back and forth on. There is a little tab that protrudes from the handle shaft that is supposed to depress that button when the e-brake handle is all the way in. One possibility is that the little tab has broken off. The other possibility is that you are low on brake fluid. There is a sensor in the master brake cylinder. If your brake fluid is low, the light will go on. Check your brake fluid, if it is o.k. then look under your dash and see if the tab is depressing the switch.

How to get my 2007 Honda Civic rear door handle which had been pulled too hard on and is now limp but can be opened from the inside to open with the door handle from the outside?
check the pull rod from the inside door handle to the door latch. You have to remove the inner door panel. But first, check the switch on the edge of the door to make sure the child safety lock is not engaged. These were designed to prevent kids from opening the door. there should be a little pin switch close to the actual door latch.
Where is the relay and fuse for the seat belt located on a 1993 mercury villager?
If you are looking for a broken fuse on this problem, then you are gonna have more than just the belts not operating (dome lights, power windows and more.) The fuse compartment beside the parking brake release handle contains the fuse for the belts. Something probable is the Inertia switch having high resistance. It will keep both belts on the rear (B)pillar even if you open the doors. To check the inertia switch on the left side behind the cover (you can see a small red button)remove it and use a ohmeter to see if the resistance is close to zero. Try cycling it with a small shock it will open and the just push the red button to close it. Recheck the resistance if it was high.
